Juventus linked with Frankfurt forward Younes Ebnoutalib after fast Bundesliga start

German-Moroccan forward Younes Ebnoutalib is the subject of a rumoured move from Frankfurt to Juventus, with the Serie A club monitoring the 23-year-old centre-forward.

Ebnoutalib has scored six goals and provided one assist in eight Bundesliga appearances this season, helping establish himself as a regular contributor for Frankfurt. He has started 75% of the club’s league matches and played 79% of the available minutes.

The forward joined Frankfurt from SV Elversberg on 1 January 2026 in a deal worth €8m. His market value has since risen to €18m, while his current contract runs until 30 June 2031.

Ebnoutalib’s brief spell at Elversberg followed a €50,000 move from FC Gießen in January 2025. He had previously spent time without a club before joining Gießen, after leaving Perugia in January 2024.

His current-season form has also extended to the DFB-Pokal, where he has scored twice and assisted once in two appearances. Ebnoutalib was born in Frankfurt am Main and began his youth career in the region before moving through several clubs in Germany and Italy.

The reported interest from Juventus comes less than a year after Frankfurt signed him from Elversberg, with the long-term contract leaving the Bundesliga club in a strong position regarding any potential negotiations.
